Thermodynamic behavior of {ethanol + butylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate} binary solution in the critical region

Abstract The liquid-liquid coexistence curve, heat capacity, and turbidity of binary solution {ethanol + butylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate]} have been precisely measured. The critical exponents and critical amplitudes corresponding to the heat capacity, width of coexistence curve, osmotic compressibility, and correlation length were obtained. The critical exponents and critical amplitude ratios showed well agreements with the theoretical values of the 3D-Ising universality class. The asymmetric behavior of the coexistence curve diameter was found to be well described by the complete scaling theory with the consideration of the heat capacity related term.
